In celebration of NYCxDesign 2025, Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF has partnered with Mercedes-AMG to unveil a thought-provoking furniture collection that reimagines high-performance automotive components as experimental design pieces. Titled MSCHF × AMG: Not for Automotive Use, the collaborative exhibition will be open to the public from May 14–17 at MSCHF’s Brooklyn studio—marking the first time the collective has opened its space to visitors.
Inspired by Italy’s 1960s Radical Design movement, the collection merges high-performance materials with sculptural, luxury furniture. It is made entirely to order using genuine Mercedes-AMG parts and reimagines automotive parts as irreverent functional items, such as trash cans, standing lights, and ergonomic chairs.
Each piece is a conceptual tribute to Radical Design, incorporating MSCHF’s trademark subversion while reiterating Achille Castiglioni’s whimsical reimagining of industrial materials. A small capsule of clothing and accessories, each featuring graphic prints of disassembled AMG parts, completes the collection.
Produced in limited runs like an exclusive drop, the Not for Automotive Use collection is fabricated on-demand, merging bespoke craftsmanship with industrial edge.
